Class of 2025 Graduation

More than 485 leaders from over 435 organizations across the country are graduating from the Institute for Nonprofit Practice (INP) this year! These leaders graduate INP more equipped and connected to drive progress on pivotal issues far and wide – from protecting voting rights to improving educational outcomes, fostering safe and healthy communities to reversing climate change, and more. Each of these individuals now join INP’s vibrant alumni network of changemakers who are shaping the social sector for generations to come. We look forward to supporting the continued growth of INP’s Class of 2025 beyond this transformative journey, building on their strengths to elevate their leadership, organizational missions, and community impact into the future. Congratulations, Class of 2025!
